Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Posted by Curtis Crabtree on September 20, 2017, 11:30 PM EDT


After being released by the Indianapolis Colts in August following a failed physical, defensive tackle Kendall Langford has a new team in the New Orleans Saints.

According to Jim Trotter of ESPN.com, Langford signed a one-year deal with the Saints on Wednesday.

Langford confirmed the deal on his Twitter account.

Langford appeared in seven games for the Colts last season before he landed on injured reserve due to a knee injury. He had surgery this offseason in an attempt to correct the issue. He was placed on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp only to be released in early August.

Langford worked out for the San Francisco 49ers last week as well before signing with the Saints. He’s the third addition to the Saints active roster along the defensive line on Wednesday. Darryl Tapp was re-signed and David Parry was promoted from the practice squad.

Championship!

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

He is a solid run stopper if healthy but has had knee issues the past few years.

Saints #1 issue is stopping the run between the tackles. Second is getting rookies to set a hard edge on the outside.

SLB is second. Luke to MLB by 2018 please.

A bigger, faster SS with solid coverage skills is Third.

CB is always in need.

Stopping the run between the tackles is always first

Why are some people saying our run D between tackles is bad? I haven't seen one of those holes up the middle that are "big enough to drive a truck through" yet. Now I'll agree, we aren't getting the push we need in the middle, but we aren't getting smoked either. But compared to the past, where the run defense was so bad we felt we had to move for Sullivan, it has been halfway decent in recent years.

I REALLY liked the way McDaniel played in the preseason. And Muhammad. McDaniel gets cut. Muhammad can't get a rep on defense. ???????

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

I'm sure there is a legitimate reason. Muhammad produced against 3rd teamers during pre season. Maybe he isn't getting in done at practice or too raw.

But I'm with you. It would be nice to see what he can do. What will it hurt? This defense needs a spark, and it must start on Sunday.

YEs but you never stop looking for improvement either. And if you can ge a guy to demand double teams it will help our rush. I think this serves 2 purposes - always looking to get better and figure a way to get a rush.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Agreed on all points. I have no confidence in what Sean and Dennis are doing anymore.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

FWIW Micheal Sam looked great in the preseason too a few years back.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Mitchell Loewen produced against 3rd stringers, yet he's getting a chance in the rotation. Al Quadin should be getting a chance.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Not anymore. Loewen was moved to IR.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

1 (one) question: Have we signed ANY veteran help at cornerback??
At this point even a corner from the Canadian Football League would give some hope.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Crap. I saw toward the end of the game the Pats cut-block him, looked like a dirty play for sure. The Pat who did that needs to be fined and suspended.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Which team? Rams were stacked defensively on the D line at the time and Dallas had roughly 10 DT's in their rotation.

What's our excuse? Would it really hurt to see what Muhammad can do for a series or two? Surely he isn't any worse that what we've already seen after two games.

A wise man once said .."do you know what the difference between a 1st and 6th rounder? An opportunity". Just give him a chance is all I ask.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Wut? What did you look at? :confused:

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

That's a bit personal, don't you think? ;)

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Can Jason David still play?

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Guess it's coming down to that.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

DAMN! DAT'S A BIG DUDE!

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

Who cares. Most everyone on defense in the preseason looked good so far it hasn't done squat. I really think we need to go back to rotating people in and out along the defensive line as we did in preseason. It worked and eventually offenses will figure it out, but at this point we should try everything.

That being said I think our run defense has been very good this season. It's a shame it doesn't matter because a pass against our defense automatic loss.
Teams don't really need to even try and beat us on the ground.

Re: Kendall Langford signs one-year deal with Saints
 

I do.

Vaccaro & Devante Harris were bad in pre season and are equally bad after two games. Keep Kenny away from deep/middle coverage.

Game #3, develop a consistent pass rush and run game. Defensive stops on 3rd and long is critical. Have Newton eat lots of grass so that we won't have to see that ridiculous Superman pose or stupid basketball shot gesture after running for a big gain or TD. Play competitive football.

Again, a Muhammad sighting won't hurt this defense.

I would sure like to see Bighill in there

So much Negativity!!

Say it like this: "I'm POSITIVE the Saints defense is terrible!" "I'm POSITIVE Sean Payton will not win more games than he loses!" "I'm POSITIVE.......(Fill in the blank)....!"

See how that makes it better?

CHUMPIANSHIP!!!!!
